I can never get enough of this area, because as a nature photographer, the possibilities are endless. Iâve seen bear, fox, bobcats, deer, and very impressive scenery on almost every trip to Benezette. Oh, did I mention an occasional elk or two? This trip was to be a little bit different, as we had a rather large group of ten. My friend Tom, the deer whisperer from Olean, N.Y., and his wife had brought their family down to see the elk, and they needed a guide.

CLARION â Evan DeLong of Kane was considered one of the elite wrestlers in the state last year as he compiled an impressive 36-0 record en route to a state championship.
Now a freshman at Clarion University, DeLong is finding that college wrestling is âmuch more intenseâ and takes âa bigger commitmentâ to win.
DeLong admitted that some of his opponents last year in high school presented âeasy matchesâ for the talented matman.
Itâs a far different story as he begins his college career as the starter at 157 pounds for the Golden Eagles.
